164 Alpha of All

~ SASHA ~

After chanting several times, the males all raised their heads and applauded, raising their cries and barks, howls and hoots.

Sasha stared dumbly. They couldn't possibly… this couldn't be… they couldn't mean…

As everyone finally went silent and looked at her, her eyes locked with Zev. His face was somehow pale and flushed at the same time, his eyes bright and locked on hers, his expression an impossible combination of pride and fear.

My strong, beautiful mate, he murmured in her head. I knew you would prove it to them.

"Prove what? What are you—?"

Kyelle tugged at her elbow and Sasha jerked to look at her as the female, eyes wide, whispered, "You have to choose a clan. Choose a mate. You have to belong."

"What do you mean? I'm mating Zev!"

The wolves raised their howls, faces beaming, pumping their fists and slapping each other on the back.

Sasha stared around the clearing, dumbfounded.
